A COMPARISON OF VALUE PREFERENCES OF PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS AND THE ONES OF STUDENTS OF OTHER DISCIPLINES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND THE NETHERLANDS

The actual study used the Values Survey Module (VSM 08) to investigate how value preferences of Czech students differ from the ones of Dutch students. Secondly, the Schwartz Value Survey (SVS 57) was used to find out if there are any differences in value preferences between Czech and Dutch students and between students of psychology and students of other disciplines. Finally, all four of the groups based on all of the combinations of nationality and study fields were compared using the Schwartz value Survey. The results of the study revealed that Czech students and Dutch students had different value preferences, whereas psychology students and students of other subjects did not differ from each other. The research also demonstrated the differences among value preferences of all four groups.
